Verdict
GALILEO SILVER still wasn’t foot-perfect at Wincanton but won a shade cosily and can shrug a 5lb rise with Jack Tudor claiming back half of the extra. Raffles Gitane was making his chasing bow when fourth at Sedgefield so improvement is likely but Worcester third Rapid Flight looks a bigger danger and is preferred to Here We Have, Wheesht and Mistersister.
